He sees, who sees the Supreme Lord, existing eally in all beings, the unperishing within the perishing.

One who sees the supreme lord dwelling equally in all beings, the imperishable within the perishing, truly sees.

This verse describes true vision. One who sees the supreme lord present equally in all beings, the undying within those who die, is the one who really sees. The repetition sees, truly sees, suggests that ordinary seeing misses the essential. We notice differences of form, status and fortune, and we notice decay and death, but the one who sees rightly perceives the same undying presence beneath them. For Arjuna, facing warriors who will die, the verse is especially pointed: he is asked to see the imperishable in friend and foe alike.
